Subject: Tri Training Camp - Worth It?Hi All!
I'm signed up for the Patriot's International (Williamsburg, VA) in September, and just got an e-mail for a training camp a couple of weekends before. Has anyone attended this or a similar training weekend? If so, was it helpful? It's $195 and covers the following:
Friday August 21: Open Water Swim Technique: 6-7 pm Swim Course Preview (kayak supported) 7-8 pm
Saturday August 22 Run Technique: 8-9 am Run Course Preview (vehicular supported): 9-11:30 am > Those racing the Sprint/Oly will do a ride after the run. Transition Clinic: 1-3 pm Nutrition & Race Strategy Lecture: 3:30-5 pm
Sunday August 23 Supported Bike Course Preview (vehicular supported): 8 am - Noon > Those racing the Sprint/Oly will do a run after ride and optional swim Q&A and Closing: 12-12:30 pm
I'm a little hesitant to spend more than I already have on registration and gear (this doesn't include the hotel room I'd have to get and gas to get there), but the open water and transition techniques could be really useful. I have completed two tris thus far, a Super Sprint and a Sprint. Any input is greatly appreciated!
